I'm guessing that this 1 fulltime person in a security response team 
role is to track, monitor, and coordinate the issues that need to be 
addressed. Which in many cases is different from the devel, releng and 
test aspects - necessitating much more than 1 fulltime person's worth of 
work to pull off the broader initiative.  Right?
